Mailing with attachments approx. > 612 bytes hangs

[strokerkid]

Hi folks,

I'm currently running "2.6.14-gentoo-r5"-Kernel. I installed localized Thunderbird version from the German Thunderbird site.

When sending emails with attachments approximately > 612 bytes then sending process will hang until a timeout by SMTP occurs.
Everything else (without or with smaller attachments) works fine. I checked every setting for several times and it is
ok. I searched for similar issues in the web pointing at Antivirus- and Firewall-settings. To make a long story short I

- stopped and emerged --unmerge clamav => problem persists
- opened temporarily firewall settings => problem persists
- deinstalled localized Thunderbird and emerged thunderbird => problem persists
- installed another mail client (kmail) => problem persists

Sending even large attachments works fine from my Windows PC via Outlook (but I want to get rid of Windows so pleeeease help me!).
Receiving mails with large attachments isn't a problem either.

After regarding the facts, it seems that there ain't no problem with the Router/Firewall, 'cause Outlook from Windows is working fine - no special
settings for my GentooServer.
Different mail clients share the same problem, so the mail client does not seem to cause this problem.
ISP cannot cause this problem, otherwise Windows/Outlook won't work.
I assume that there is a problem in a library that both clients (TB & kmail) share, but I can't help myself anymore.

Here is a debug output from thunderbird/smtp that I set up with
export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=SMTP:5
export NSPR_LOG_FILE=/tmp/TB-log.txt
I tried to send a mail with an ascii file of 6125 bytes attached.

cat /tmp/TB-log.txt:

... and that's it.

Sending the same mail via Outlook from my WindowsPC works fine.

Thanks for your contribution in advance.

You installed Thunderbird yourself, outside of Portage ?
Why not emerge Thunderbird with de-DE locale ?

ANyway, have you tried the same Thunderbird verison on Windows ?
